I had to see this film because I had seen Cillian Murphy on Peaky Blinders. As anyone knows who has seen the program on Netlfix, Murphy plays a very ambitious and tough leader of a gang in 1920s Birmingham, England. When I found out this actor played a transvestite in a 2005 film I couldn't believe it. That he manages to be utterly convincing in such different roles is proof of his great talent.

This is an Irish independent film and will not appeal to a broad audience. The opening scenes have birds talking! Most Americans are used to a film being a comedy or drama and somewhat predictable. It's a strange film in many ways! Without spoiling the plot, I can say there are scenes that are moderately violent and may be followed immediately by something very funny. Watching it for the first time could be compared with being on a roller coaster. Patrick "Kitten" Braden is a young man in the early 1970s, growing up in a conservative small town. In that time and place it is understandable that a young man who wears makeup and wants a sex change operation has trouble being accepted. He leaves his home town and the film shows his adventures in London.

If you like unconventional films and are not bothered by the subject matter you might enjoy this film. If you are already a big Cillian Murphy fan this is a must see. Near the end of film he is wearing a blonde wig, women's clothes and is absolutely stunning! A film is often quickly forgotten but this is one I want to buy. In an interview Murphy said he fell in love with the character when he read the script. I have to admit so did I.

Another one you will not see at Loew's Cinema 48. What? No car chases? No explosions, no body counts? What kind of a movie do you want me to go see??One more foreign independent film that flies under, no, over, way over the American radar. This film embodies Acting! Character portrayal! Splendid direction. Clever, inspired cinematography. We see here actors who strive to "become the persona". And it is wonderful, impressive, overwhelming to behold. Hollywood, unfortunately, cannot, or perhaps does not want to produce films of this nature. They are difficult and challenging to make. More importantly, they would most likely not generate a sufficient cash return, which is sad. This film is the perfect formula of acting, delightful and appropriate musical background, inspired directing and lovely camera work. So many events occur simultaneously during this story that one will find himself/herself perhaps watching the film for a second time. I humbly confess to having had to do exactly this, simply because I could not take in all the subtleties and nuances unfolding during the presentation.

Admittedly, this will not appeal to "millions of viewers". However, this film has much to give: laughter, tears, tenderness, anger, violence...absolutely all of the ingredients which make up our lives. Do watch this film. And if you remain unmoved, untouched by Kitten, and her friends, you have much more self-control than I have.

Cillian Murphy did a great job, the acting is perfect, but I got a feeling that similar situation happens again and again in the movie like he comes to the bar, then another bar and another bar, and the story does not move forward. I felt sorry for the main character. Definitely, a traumatised person running from himself and trying to be someone else.

A magnificent, touching, vulnerable, Oscar-worthy performance from one of the best actors of our time, Cillian Murphy. If you see him as the tough, war-hardened gang boss in "Peaky Blinders" and then this--you won't believe it's the same person. He is rare. There are only a few actors in the world right now who can touch him. This is an actor who was given the choice of any role in "Inception", where he could have been a bigger star and made more money, but instead, he chose a smaller role because it was more interesting to him (and even then, he stole the picture as the sad, lonely corporate son). He is anti-Hollywood and celebrity and not in it for fame or money, but for the love of acting --and it shows. I think the reason why he's not bigger in Hollywood is he doesn't want to be. He is intensely private about himself in interviews because he says actors should be invisible, and if you're focusing on him, Cillian, you won't be focusing on the character. Now THAT is an actor--not a movie star! This film is a bit odd in tone and takes getting used to--is it a comedy, a fantasy, a drama? Is it a bit fey and sugary-sweet? It seemed that way to me at first, but Cillian hooked me with this performance. Innocent, childlike Kitten goes on adventures where she refuse to see the ugly in the world, and yet is a survivor as well. The scene that made me tear up was when she was working in the peep show, dressed like a doll on the swing, and yet still kept her dignity. Liam Neeson comes in as a client and tells her a story. Cillian played with stillness, and acted completely with his eyes. It was that scene where I said--we are in the presence of acting greatness here. And not for nothing, but as Kitten, he is the most beautiful woman you've ever seen.

Fantastic film in my humble option. Cillian Murphy should win every single award for the incredible performance he did in"becoming" a female. For a man who so incredibly masculine(i.e. see Netflix Peaky Blinders for his other role as an Irish gangster to compare) it was unbelievable. The story was super cute and quirky, and I really enjoyed the entire film. I think the other cast members were superbly chosen as well. I highly recommend this film.
